The rookie fanfic

Chapter 10

"And then he goes 'if there's one thing I've learnt in the LAPD, it's that I'm never alone.' and right on cue, helicopters swarm in!" Lucy told the rookies excitedly.

"You make me sound so dramatic." Tim said, arm draped around Lucy's shoulders.

"You are!" Lopez chimed, laughing.

Everyone from the station had decided to go out for drinks together, Tim, Lucy, Sienna, Keira, Lopez, Harper and Nolan.

Keira couldn't help but notice how adorable Tim and Lucy were together, it was nothing like at the station.

"Anyway, I need another drink." Lucy said, cup empty in hand. "I'll be right back." She stood up from their booth.

"I'll come with." Tim said, getting up and slipping his arm around her waist.

They walked to the bar together, where Lucy ordered her drink.

The bartender slid it out next to her but before she could grab it, Tim swung her around to face him.

She grinned uncontrollably, pressing her body up against him.

"You know you look stunning tonight." Tim whispered in her ear.

Lucy giggled. "So do you, Sergeant Bradford."

He pulled her in for a quick kiss, before letting her go.

Lucy grabbed her drink and they headed back to the group waiting for them.

"Ohhh the lovers are back!" Nolan said, causing the rest of the group to laugh.

"Oh shut up." Lucy playfully hit him on the shoulder.

They talked, laughed and drank long into the night.

It was around midnight that Lucy felt her stomach starting to twist. She tried to bear through the pain but when a headache flared it was no longer avoidable.

"I think I'm gonna turn in." She said, standing up.

"You sure? What's up?" Harper asked her, concerned.

"I'm just not feeling the best, I'm going to head home."

"Had a little too much to drink?" Sienna asked.

"Yeah I think so, I might call an Uber." Lucy hadn't had that many, but it had been a long time so maybe her tolerance changed.

"No, I'll drive you home." Tim offered, linking his arm through hers.

She gave him a smile of thanks before saying goodnight to everyone and leaving.

...

They were back at Lucy's apartment.

"You can go back to the bar, I know you want to." Lucy said once she was snuggled in bed.

"The only thing I want is to be with you." Tim laid down next to her, scooping her small frame up in his arms.

They fell asleep together, both were tired after the long day and night.

...

Tim woke up, dazed. He checked the clock next to him and it told him it was 3am.

He sighed and rolled over to face Lucy.

There was an empty bed where she was a few hours ago. Tim hurriedly stepped out of bed, worried.

"Lucy?" He heard coughing coming from the bathroom.

He walked in to find Lucy bent over the sink.

"Are you okay?" He came up next to her.

She lifted her head and he saw bright red flecks of blood in the sink and across her chin.

With tears in her eyes she asked him, "What's happening to me?"
